Biological Activity

Description

Tucatinib (Irbinitinib) is a potent, orally active and selective HER2 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 8 nM.

IC₅₀ & Target

HER2

All EGFR Isoforms :

In Vitro

Tucatinib has nanomolar activity against purified HER2 enzyme and is approximately 500-fold selective for HER2 versus EGFR in cell-based assays. Tucatinib selectively inhibits the receptor tyrosine kinase HER2 relative to EGFR^[1].
Tucatinib blocks proliferation and the phosphorylation of HER2 and its downstream effector, Akt in HER2 overexpressing cell lines. In the EGFR overexpressing cell lines, it weakly inhibits phosphorylation and proliferation, demonstrating that Tucatinib may have potential to block HER2 signaling without causing the toxicities of EGFR inhibition^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Tucatinib (ONT-380, 200 mg/kg/d) shows a survival benefit when each drug is dosed at the maximum-tolerated dose^[1].
Tucatinib and its active metabolite causes a significant reduction in brain pErbB2 (80%)^[2].
Tucatinib (ARRY-380) demonstrates significant dose-related tumor growth inhibition (TGI; 50% at 50 mg/kg/d and 96% at 100 mg/kg/d) with numerous partial regressions (>50% reduction from baseline size) at the higher dose level in 9/12 animals. Tucatinib (50 mg/kg/d) in combination with trastuzumab shows a 98% TGI with complete regressions in 9/12 animals and two partial regressions^[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:

Female nude mice^[3].
Dosage:

200 mg/kg/d.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
